Are you interested in purposeful travel? Would you like to experience the Mexican lifestyle while making a difference? Do you enjoy working with children? Do you enjoy volunteering?
For the past 20+ years, GreenAngels have supported the Aramburo family and the Instituto International Libertad–a kindergarten to grade 12, Spanish/English, Christian school located in the heart of San Jose del Cabo. (Read the story here.)
The school is currently recruiting English-speaking teachers for all levels.
Now in its 20th year of operation, with a statewide recognized English Immersion Program, the Instituto provides an excellent bilingual education and maintains a strong focus on developing community leaders who embody the principles of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
The Instituto currently has 180 students ranging from kindergarten to high school levels and continues to grow!
Requirements:
Teachers must have a flexible, optimistic attitude; passion for working with youth; and a strong desire to bring innovation to the educational system in Mexico. They should be willing to go the "extra mile". Some teaching experience is required, and strong leadership skills are a plus. Teachers will have the opportunity to teach subjects such as Arithmetic, Science, Reading Comprehension, Writing & Composition, Music, Art, Debate, Theater, Communication, Economics, and more; however, the focus is to teach the children English. (Just let us know what subjects most interest you!)
The Instituto Internacional Libertad provides a unique opportunity to give of yourself and your time, while making sure you have safe and comfortable accommodation. You will be making a difference in the lives of Mexican children. This is what we call: purposeful travel.
